Virginia "Ginger" Barbara Randolph

We are heartbroken to share the unexpected passing of our cherished and
irreplaceable mother, Virginia “Ginger” Barbara Randolph, who peacefully
left this world on February 8, 2025. She was 82 years young, having lived a
life filled with love, adventure, resolute strength and loyalty to family.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Ginger moved to Georgia as a teenager and
attended Avondale High School. Shortly after graduation, she married and
embraced her greatest calling—motherhood. Her daughters, Theresa
“Tere” Morris and Lisa Johnson, were the heart of her world, and everything
she did was driven by her deep love and devotion to them. As a single
mother, she faced life’s challenges with strength and determination, carving
out a successful career at Plymart, a local building supplier, where she
ultimately retired as general sales manager.

After her daughters were grown, Ginger remarried and made a home in
Avondale Estates, Georgia, where she became a loving stepmother to
Hank and Shawn Randolph. She nurtured them through childhood,
celebrated their milestones, and watched with pride as they pursued their
dreams.

Ginger was a woman of boundless energy and spirit. She found joy in
reading, gardening, playing tennis, and cards with friends, and even led
aerobic fitness classes at the CDC in Atlanta. No matter where life took her
—whether thriving in her Georgia community or embracing adventure
during her decade in Venice, California—she lived with zest and purpose,
always guided by her strong Christian faith.

A true friend and confidante, Ginger believed deeply in kindness,
compassion, and the power of listening. She celebrated victories, offered
support during life’s challenges, and left an imprint of warmth on every
heart she touched. Her smile and generosity cultivated lifelong friendships
that will endure beyond her passing.

She faced life’s twists and turns with grace, and strived to lead by example.
As she often said, “How we handle ourselves during adversity defines our
character.” Her legacy is one of resilience, love, and unwavering
encouragement for those she held dear.

Above all, her greatest joy was her family. She loved fiercely and
unconditionally, always offering wisdom and unwavering support. She took
immense pride in the achievements of her daughters and was their biggest
inspiration. Ginger also shared in their passion for dog rescue, supporting
their tireless mission of advocating for shelter dogs through Ruff Dog
Rescue NE & GA.

It brings her daughters peace knowing their mother is now at rest, cradled
in God’s eternal loving arms, reunited with her cherished four-legged
companion, Cali, and her dearest friend, Carolyn Morris.

Ginger was preceded in death by her parents, George Beyers and Esther
Harris. She is survived by her daughters, Tere Morris and Lisa Johnson,
who remained the light of her life until her last breath, as well as her sisters,
Bonnie Blanchard, Mary Louise Zeller, and Patti Evans.

In honor of Ginger’s wishes, a private family ceremony will be held. In lieu
of flowers, should the spirit move you to honor Ginger’s memory, donations
may be made to RuffDogRescue.org and RDRNE.org, a tribute to her love
for animals and the mission her daughters have devoted their lives to.

Though life without her leaves an emptiness that cannot be filled, we find
comfort in knowing that a mother’s love is eternal—it lives on in the hearts
she touched, the lives she shaped, and the memories we cherish forever.

Proverbs 31:31 “Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her
works bring her praise at the city gate.”
